Default Re: What would you do if you won $47 Million?

This seems like a weird and paranoid plan.

I'd just quit my job and enjoy doing whatever the hell I wanted.

Are you actually surprised nobody said this? Or did you just need a way to open the sentence without sounding like a Downie?

Uh, do you realize how little 10k per year is? Thats basically nothing. OOOO AND EXTRA 1K A MONTH whoopdee [censored] doo. My parents raised me to think that there is no way they would be ruined by having 5 or 6 million thrown at them. I would love to give my dad the chance to not work 45 hours a week, so he could go fishing, spend time with my little brother, etc, my mom, actually she would probably keep working even with all the money only becuase doesnt have to work now, but enjoys being a teacher. The rest of my extended family is very well off anyway, so Id just get them stupid, awesome stuff, that they wouldnt ever buy for themselved. Man, I hate to think about all the money your parents wasted burning you with cigarettes when you were a kid, becuase that is the only way I can see your reasoning for thinking like that.

Dude, seek therapy.

I'm assuming I will live another 50 years. My brothers and sisters would end up receiving $500,000 over this period. NOT COUNTING any interest they'd earn on their "investments".

But I shouldn't expect someone who would want to blow money on "stupid, awesome stuff" to appreciate the value of $10K per year per family member.

Relax.

If you were my kid and gave me 10k a year, Id disown you, thats [censored] insulting.

This is the point. Nobody cares if you get disowned when you have 47M. The roles are reversed.

[/ QUOTE ]

I doubt anyone would REALLY disown their kids over this, but jesus christ, it is insulting that you dont think enough of your own parents that they cant handle more than 20k a year. It was an exaggeration. If my parents disowned me there would be no money to compare to it.

500k over 50 years, is still nothing. Trust me, if anyone in this thread needs therapy its you.

Wow, $500,000 to your brothers and sisters and parents. Wow, you are willing to give up 2.5 million over 50 years. Gee that's over 5% of your winnings. Such generosity could only come from a loving relationship with your family.

$10K a year is "a cushion"??? You obviously have no idea what the value of money is. I'd bet you would end up being one of those lottery winners on Dateline - "Lotter Winners Living in Trailer Parks - How did they blow that much money that quickly?"
